  12. Tools to Help You Make Good Investment Decisions

  13. How Do You Know Where to Begin? • Tools to help you decide what to do in these uncertain times. • Breakeven analysis • Forward-yield curve • Spread analysis • Option-adjusted spread analysis • Sensitivity analysis (stress test) • Judgment

  14. Selecting the Best Maturity Range • In the current market, should you buy short or long? • Which would you buy? • 6-month Agency @ 4.80% • 1-year Agency @ 4.93% Rates as of February 13, 2006

  15. Breakeven Analysis • Frame the question differently • What rate do you have to earn for the last 6 months to breakeven? 4.93% Time=0 Time=1 year Time=6 months ?? 4.80%

  16. Breakeven Analysis 4.93% for 1 year Time=0 Time=1 year Time=6 months ?? for 6 months 4.80% for 6 months 5.06% 4.93 * 1 year = (4.80 * ½ year) + (x * ½ year) 4.93 = 2.40 + ½ x 2.53 = ½ x 5.06 = x

  17. Breakeven Analysis • Do you think that rates will rise more than 26 basis points in the next 6 months? • If yes, buy the 6-month investment • If no, buy the 1 year 4.93% Time=0 Time=1 year Time=6 months 5.06% 4.80%

  18. Breakeven Analysis • How could you know if rates will rise more than 26 basis points in the next 6 months? • Frame the question differently • There are 3 Fed meetings in the next 6 months. • Is it likely that Fed will raise rates 25 basis points at 1 of the 3 meetings? • If yes, then the 6-month is a good choice. • If no, then the 1-year is a good choice.
